"Positron emission tomography (PET) using O-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) has been successfully employed in the diagnostic workup of brain tumors. Knowledge on the mechanisms of the uptake of radiolabeled amino acids into thyroidal tissues and well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas is limited," researchers in Erlangen, Germany report.
